CE testing for 2D card puppet?

Hi all. I could really do with some help. I run a children's group where I use 2D card puppets as part of my story telling. I now want to see packs of these puppets at Christmas markets as I had a lot of interests from parents.

The puppets are all made of thick, black card and I use a soft edge wooden stick to move it.

To sell, these would only be for children 4 years and over. Do I need to get this Cafe tested? If do, any advice or experience of this would be much appreciated.

Congratulations on your work with the children. As far as the CE testing for your puppets is concerned the best thing to do is to talk to the people at your local council. They will have access to all the regulations and they really don't bite - ours are very helpful and patient.

As I understand it anything that could be interpreted as a toy of any sort by any child needs to meet some CE regulations, but I really don't know if there is any variation for types of toys etc. Speak to the experts is probably the best solution.

I'll keep my fingers crossed that everything works out well and you can go ahead with selling the puppets.
